Never heard of 1bits BMP before. If you are lucky and the image is not
compressed, then read it as a char array (8bits in vtkImageReader),
then pass the void pointer of the char array to the vtkBitArray.
But I do not think this will be usefull as OpenGL/VTK does not support
1bit image, so you'll have to convert (expand) your 1bits image to
8bit anyway.
